I dont normally write long reviews, but this place is definitely worthy of this review. Right from the start, the guy behind the bar was so welcoming and friendly throughout the stay as we're ALL the staff .... I had an evening meal which I can only describe as outstanding!!!...... the Chef that they have there is worth his/her weight...as everything on the plate was delicious i mean really tasty it was made from scratch... (no brake brothers food).. there was plenty also ... the wait time was under 30 mins. I was very surprised as they were very busy with many eating in the restaurant .... many locals here and eating as well, which tells you a lot, as well as holiday walkers, etc... the pub is really old going back to 1700 but I have to say there is no musty or old smells what so ever throughout....it's as fresh as the day it was built extremely clean!! I met the cleaner in the morning at 7.30 am who was mopping the floors and such a friendly man he wanted to know if my stay was ok if there was anything I needed etc ... As I say the staff are fantastic... There is a church next door and is worth a look as the buildings are very old ... there is a weightrose the other side next door, ( although you wouldn't know it as it's cleverly hid low down behind trees), and I only found it because I looked on a map and did discover it was right next door !! The room I had in Gergoiran was so so lovely ... peaceful and homely clean airy and bright was very comfortable bed. I slept very deeply ... plenty of towels, soaps, etc... water milk in the fridge. The tea and coffee in the room are a really top-notch brand. There is an iron and ironing board which, for me on business, is essential.

I liked everything!!!..... my only thing I can help you with is this Just as a precaution if you are elderly the rooms are at the top of two flights of stairs if you are infirm or find stairs difficult this could be challenging for you if not you will have a lovely stay

Located a short walk from Eastbourne, this beautiful old pub is situated on the gateway to the Seven Sisters and the South Downs way walking trails. Transport links to Eastbourne,Brighton and London make it a great location. The owners and staff are warm and welcoming. Breakfast is a feast of traditional cooked fare. The pub itself features a great selection of drinks, beers and ales featuring a tasty selection of local brews. A great selection of meals are available too. Recommended for a drink, meals or a stay

Good size double. Bit tired decor, but very clean. Nice tea/coffee facilities. Good sized shower ensuite. Staff were friendly. Fan and portable air-conditioning machine supplied during the overly hot weather. Rooms are a few floors up from the pub and I could hear no noise, which was good.

Minimal onsite parking. Out of hours access is via outsite staircase which, although convenient, maybe difficult for anyone with mobility issues. I didn't find it a problem personally. Both electic fan and air-con extremely noisy for night use (nit picking, but a slightly quieter/more expensive fan might be appreciated - you can't really get a quiet mobile aircon unit and it was good for getting the room cooler outside of sleeping time). Risk of letting in pigeons opening the window to wide - probably no fix to that - there were bird spikes on window sill already)

Everything was thought of and the friendly, helpful staff were always quick to respond to queries and requests. Full English breakfast (all the food, really) was fantastic. The history and charm of the building are unmatched. Be sure to ask for a tour of the medieval crypt below the inn, which had been part of a monastery associated with the 1180 church next door. Fires in the fireplaces warm and charm, making the public rooms cosy and welcoming in the winter. A function room on the second level is used by locals for a weekly choir practice, which is quite wonderful and demonstrates how much the neighborhood loves the building. However, we couldn't hear anything from the rooms on the third floor. Handy to a bus stop and a next-door grocery. Would absolutely stay again.

The Lamb Inn is a beautiful, very old pub/hotel in Eastbourne (with a reputation for being haunted). The staff were friendly. As you would expect, with a property this age there is no lift and the rooms are cosy and quirky. It is based in the quiet, old town, about 2km from the sea. There is a Waitrose next door, which is very convenient, and buses go by. The Inn has a lot of charm.

The Inn is about 1km (0.7 miles) from the train station in the opposite direction from the beach front. Not necessarily a bad thing but just something to factor.

The location was great, not far from the town centre but situated in an area steeped in local history. The building itself is everything and more from a structure of this age, bags of character, pitch black timber beams, mottle and daub walls and a period 'walk in' fireplace. We had booked a family room which was in fact a self contained arrangement of 2 separate rooms, a small landing area with tea and coffee making facilities and two armchairs. Both rooms were decorated with interesting period prints and paintings. Towels were ample in quantity and very soft. The beer was well kept (Harvey's Best Bitter), the atmosphere in the bar very inviting and calm. The bar staff - friendly and efficient. The breakfast was superb and with generous portions. The owner served us and was most friendly and considerate.

We loved the atmospheric, quirky, friendly, and inviting Inn. The Staff and Owners were so inviting and made us feel welcome from the offset. Ideally situated in the Old Town with a bus stop within a few yards, taking you straight into the town centre. The Locally Brewed Harvey's Ale was excellent, and although we didn't partake ourselves, the menu looked delicious and definitely value for money. The place had a lively and full clientele.

To be honest, there wasn't anything to dislike

I loved the homely feel of the room, the view over the rooftops with the South Downs in the distance, and the cooing of the pigeons,The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was nice and warm. Nat & her team were wonderful and made sure I was happy and well fed each morning. A really lovely stay.

A tiny thing, I never felt my shower hot water was hot enough, it was good, but I'd like to have had it a smidgen hotter.

The entire experience is one I take up every 6 weeks to meet friends, and experience this unique offer in a place I enjoy. The management and staff radiate a positive and friendly manner, which makes visiting again and again to eat, drink and enjoy. Meals are great value and superbly cooked. All staff are pleasant, and well trained in the art of good customer service, which stems from the top.

Nothing in this section

Well this is hard as it was an Olde style Inn. The staircase was tricky to negotiate as it was old style risers & carpet. You would not want to be tipsy. For a young person it would be great. As we are ancient fossils the steep staircase was tricky. Yes I have a soh. The fire doors were due to be repaired as the handle to open them took a bit of force. The staff were really friendly & looked after our needs. The food was excellent & servings were great. The GM's husband John was a West Ham fan & we had a great chat about Football & a few photos to boot too. His trip to Prague was a highlight to hear about.

The staircase needs to have more handrails as it was steep & getting suitcases up was difficult.
